parameters
are noted by an asterisk (*). Other parameters are optional.

Parameter

AWS Credentials

Specifies the AWS credentials to be used by the task in the build agent environment.

You can specify credentials using a service endpoint (of type AWS) in the task configuration
or you can leave unspecified. If
unspecified the task will attempt to obtain credentials from the following sources
in order:

From task variables named AWS.AccessKeyID, AWS.SecretAccessKey and optionally AWS.SessionToken.

From credentials set in environment variables in the build agent process. When using
environment variables in the
build agent process you may use the standard AWS environment variables: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY and
optionally AWS_SESSION_TOKEN.

If the build agent is running on an Amazon EC2 instance, from the instance metadata
associated with the EC2 instance. For
credentials to be available from EC2 instance metadata the instance must have been
started with an instance profile referencing
a role granting permissions to the task to make calls to AWS on your behalf. See IAMRolesForEC2 for more information.

AWS Region

The AWS region code (us-east-1, us-west-2 etc) of the region containing the AWS resource(s)
the task will use or create. For more
information, see Regions and Endpoints in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.

If a region is not specified in the task configuration the task will attempt to obtain
the region to be used using the standard
AWS environment variable AWS_REGION in the build agent process's environment. Tasks running in build agents hosted on
Amazon EC2
instances (Windows or Linux) will also attempt to obtain the region using the instance
metadata associated with the EC2 instance
if no region is configured on the task or set in the environment variable.

Note: The regions listed in the picker are those known at the time this software was released.
New regions that are not listed
may still be used by entering the region code of the region (for example us_west_2).

Parameter Name

The name identifying a single parameter to be created or updated in the store.

Paraneter Type

The type of parameter to be written Choose from -

String: the parameter is assigned a single string value

String list: the parameter value is a comma-separated list of strings

Secure string: the parameter value is encrypted at rest using either a service- or
customer-provided KMS key

Note: If the parameter exists and is a secure string, this field is ignored and the secure
string status of the parameter is retained.

Parameter Value

The value for the parameter.

KMS Key ID

If the parameter type is set to Secure string, identifies the customer-provided KMS key used to encrypt the parameter value at
rest. If a secure string type is specified but no key provided a service-provided
KMS key is used to encrypt the parameter value.
